If there’s no warrant, then that’s an invasion of privaccy.

It depends on what the Warrant entails. If it’s to search the house and makes no mention of computers, you do not have to comply with the police who claim the warrant gives them the authority. The warrant has to specifically says what they can search.

I haven’t read the article yet, but I do know the courts have ruled that you must comply. To which I would tell them to F off and throw me in jail. Good luck getting into my AES 256 encrypted machine.
